“Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job."-Trump’s tweet 9/30/17

That was just one of Trump's eighteen tweets this past Saturday about Puerto Rico, the Mayor of San Juan, the territory’s debt, and the real eye opener that Puerto Rico is in fact an island.

This is everything we’ve feared. This is very real crisis with millions of American lives in jeopardy and Trump’s completely incompetent and inept leadership. He is out of his depth and American lives hang in the balance. Puerto Rico, as a US Territory, does not have direct congressional representation. We need to let our MoC’s know that we care and they need to act.

Join Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and volunteers as we knock on doors in Burien for a slate of progressive city council candidates. These elections are important because a slate of far-right candidates is attempting a takeover of the city council to repeal its sanctuary city ordinance.
